    Am I the only one who had no idea this kind of dog existed:

    This is a tanuki or raccoon dog, which is a Japanese animal that a lot of Westerners mistakenly think is a raccoon or a badger, but is actually totally different.

    I've never heard of that, either! I see that it's related to the bat-eared fox, which is more familiar. It also kind of looks like a civet. Adorable, regardless. 😃

    No, you are not the only one who wasn't aware and I lived in Japan for 5 years!
